Despite the fact that this California based band had their songs featured in the hit film ‘A Walk to Remember’, I like many others, was not aware of this band and their amazing music until this album was released.
In 2004, several songs from ‘The Beautiful Letdown’ began to receive …

Another talented person in my eyes would be Tracy Chapman. You just need to listen to Our Bright Future by Tracy Chapman to know that she is a real singer and the real deal. Most of her songs are about life and love in general and sometimes about …

It amazes me that I ever purchased Garth Brooks: Double Live CD because, frankly, he was never a favorite of mine. I did have a co-worker who adored the man. I don’t deny he knows how to put on a show or can sing a song, but …

‘Life in a Northern Town’ is a classic song, written and performed by the English folk group The Dream Academy.
The song’s wistful sound passes off a sense of melancholy over the amazing chorus chants and lyrics that transport listeners back in time. The song speaks of a a small …

Although I’m not usually a film music buff, I decided to buy the CD of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” soundtrack for the Bat for Lashes and Florence and the Machine songs. Still, while I was expecting to limit my listening to these two tracks, possibly finding a third or …

Rivers Of Babylon is a song by Sublime and the penultimate track on their album 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with an acoustic guitar pattern, I get the impression that Rivers Of Babylon is basically like a more enjoyable version of the previous track, Krs-One. Like the preceding …

This album is the latest in Neil Hannon’s belt, and a release I have looked forward to for a long time. The cd features sixteen brand new tracks composed and preformed in part by Hannon himself as in most of his other music.
Below is half of the track list …

Freight Train Blues is a song performed by Bob Dylan which appears on his self-titled debut record. The track opens up with a fairly hectic harmonica section and I will say right away that compared to other songs on Dylan’s debut album, Freight Train Blues has a bit more …

Vienna Teng is an independent singer from San Francisco, USA. She has been selling independent records for a few years, and details to purchase her albums are on her official website: http://www.viennateng.com
Vienna’s latest album is titled ‘Dreaming through the Noise’. Just from the title, it’s easy to tell it …

After the very successful album War, released in 1983, U2 have managed to release another great record so quickly afterwards. I think that this album, The Unforgettable Fire was an album which escalated their skill and level as musicians. I think that this 1984 album demonstrated how much and …

This is another crappy CD. This is what personally I think. Now, for all those who are not aware, Beenie is actually one of the biggest DJs around in terms of dance music. I would say this album to be pretty good, except for the fact …

I wasn’t too familiar with Tinie Tempah before I saw his album advertised on the telly and often that is when you realise how many of his songs that you already knew. One stood out for me, this was Written In The Stars. I had heard it on the …

Soothing Sanctuary by David & Steve Gordon is really a superb collection of calming and soothing instrumental tracks that effectively separate me from all my headaches, all my worries, and carry me off to a state of serenity and peace. This audio CD is perfect for listening whenever I …

The song Superstar from the American rapper Lupe Fiasco’s sophomore album “The Cool” was the breakthrough song that put Lupe at the number one spot on my favorite rappers of all time list. I first heard this song through my friend’s cell phone ring tone and immediately questioned who …

The Tracks - A Hard Day’s Night, the third album by The Beatles, features a variety of different songs on here. There’s the more melodic songs, the energetic and rock driven songs, the pop-orientated songs, but also the songs that show signs of mature songwriting and more developed ideas. …

Like the band’s name Groove Armada, their song sounds groove too. Like this song ‘My friend’, it’s not a new song from them, but I really like it, because whenever I listen it sounds new for me.
The song sounds easy listening, it can calm down your mind when …

Aspiring rock Gods everywhere, listen up. If you can’t afford a pricy electric guitar but still want to rock like Hendrix, then the iAXE USB Electric Guitar is just what you’ve been looking for. It plugs directly into your computers USB port and plays just like the real thing, …

Ozone Baby is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their album Coda. Ozone Baby opens up with the full band entering at once, excluding Plant’s vocals, in a pretty straightforward rock sound with Page leading with his guitar and Boham and Jones creating a solid rhythm behind …

Overview —“ Morrison Hotel, The Doors’ fifth effort, is once again a good album put out by the band. One big thing that I noticed was that the musicians seemed to work very nicely together on this album and even when they all had pretty unique separate parts working …

In Rainbows that was recently released to CD earlier this year. I am a huge Radiohead fan and was very interested to see in which direction they were going to go with this album. I was expecting anything.
The album as a whole is beautiful. Both guitarists use a very …

This song . . . I cannot think of a good adjective to describe it. It is just absolutely incredible. From the tune, to Adam’s fantastic voice, to the meaning of the song, everything is perfect! The first time I heard this I fell in love with it instantly. …

Kellie Pickler pokes fun at a man who has dropped her for someone else only to realize that life isn’t as great as he thought it was going to be with the new girl. It is an awesome song for women who have been treated in exactly this same …

Vein Of Stars is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album At War With The Mystics. The song opens up in a melodic fashion and has an airy and free atmosphere created by the basic instrumentation present. A guitar chord pattern soon comes in which …

I have no idea how I started listening to this band. I think it was because of the style they were playing, dubbed shoegazing, and that sounded pretty interesting. I was thinking, what can shoegazing be, or what sort of a music is that, and so, I stumbled upon …

I love Musiq’s album Loveandmusiq, but I’m not really feeling this new album he has out. The album is selling like crazy, but I feel that it’s missing the great songs that would make it a great album.
I guess you can’t expect an artist to make a hit …

The fact that not many people know about this band yet is something that really annoys me, and I can only hope that anybody reading this review is convinced enough by the end to go and check them out. RUBY TIGERS are an Aussie band that blend indie rock …

In This Twilight is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their record Year Zero. The song opens up with a heavy sounding industrial rhythm before Reznor enters in to start singing over it. Reznor sings in his characteristic laid-back fashion which doesn’t exactly go with the …

Well the first saying that comes to mind when I think of Taylor guitars is “you get what you pay for”. Now, in some situations I have experienced this saying to be untrue. Such as, overpriced restaraunts with poor quality of food, salon grade hair products that …

Rhinoceros is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and is the third song on their debut album entitled Gish. Opening in a far more melodic than either of the two preceding songs on this album, Rhinoceros features a pretty calm atmosphere throughout the first forty-five seconds of the track …

Blackout is the fifth studio album by Britney Spears. It is one of her most successful studio albums. It has more r&b and urban sound with the collobration of Danja.
I think Blackout is the darkest and most depressive album of Britney Spears. I can feel the effects of …

I generally do not listen to classical forms of music a lot, but on a rare occasion I will listen to the music of select singers and musicians. One of these people is the English born singer Sarah Brightman. There are so many things that I like about her …

Joshua Radin is a modern day singer/songwriter. I first heard him on the soundtrack to the Zach Braff movie, “The Last Kiss”. He has a very distinctive voice that instantly calms my nerves and puts me at ease. His voice is so gentle, soft, romantic, and full of …

This album occupies a special part in my heart. Every time I listen to it I am making a trip down memory lane, recalling the time when I was twelve-year old pre-pubescent Boy. This is why I try not to listen to it too often, to keep this album …

No More Mister Nice Guy is a cover performed by Megadeth which appears on their record Hidden Treasures. The track starts off with that classic riff from Alice Cooper’s track but certainly with a more aggressive tone and just sort of more an electrified tone coming from Mustaine. Although …

Wrathchild is a track by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Killers. Keep in mind that Killers was still an album where Iron Maiden had Paul Di’anno rather than Bruce Dickinson so the vocals on this track lean far more towards a punk sound rather than an operatic …

Light From Above is Black Tide’s first and only album so far, but there is supposed to be a new album coming out within the next year. The lyrics in this album don’t really have any deep meaning, but that isn’t the focus of this band. The focus is …

I really do love Barbra Streisand: Till I Loved You CD, but the one thing I think of every time I listen to it is, ‘What the heck was she thinking?’ It all stems from the title song, a really wonderful, powerful yet tender love song called Till …

Well, everyone should know the popular song, Tik Tok by Ke$ha or at least heard of it. It was the number 1 on billboard list for nine consecutive weeks. Her upcoming album, Animal was highly anticipated and hit stores on January 5, 2010. I loved the song Tik Tok …

One of the most popular, trendsetting music artists of the century, Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance single will certainly go down in history as the lady’s trademark song. It has all the elements of what defines the singer: a tune that is fast beat, one you can dance …

Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) is a cover performed by The Rolling Stones which appears on their album Some Girls. The track is originally done by The Temptations but I’m not too familiar with their version so we’ll see how The Stones do. The track opens up …

Video: Bootylicious
Album: Survivor
Label: Columbia Records
Director: Matthew Rolston
“Bootylicious” is the second single and music video from Destiny’s Child’s third album titled “Survivor”, following the last single and music video “Survivor”. Matthew Rolston directs this time around and everything looks somewhat like a badly-ripped off clone of Christina Aguilera’s …

“Fun, Fun, Fun” is one of the best known of The Beach Boys’ 1960s hit songs, and it has kept what I think is a deserved popularity right up to the present day. It is a short song, at only two and a third minutes in length, and it …

Alive is what happens when a band, their manager and their record label decide to take a chance on something they believe in. And rock and roll was never the same afterwards!
Alive was considered suicide during its 1975 release as live albums really didn’t sell well but KISS insisted …

Hold Your Head is a song by The Flaming Lips and the final track to appear on their album Hit To Death In The Future Head. Opening up with some incredibly grand and building percussion, I almost get the impression as if I’m listening to the score for a …

Canadian rockers Finger Eleven have been kicking it now for more than eleven years. From the underground smart-grunge sounds of their 1997 debut album “Tip” to the emotive and acoustic-laden drones of 2003’s self-titled outing, they’ve managed to run the gamut within the confines of alternative hard rock.
But with …

Faaip De Oiad is a song by Tool which appears on their record Lateralus. The song starts out with some synthesizers and background noise which sets up a very eerie atmosphere which surrounds this entire album. Thus far the sound is very unsettling and once the chaotic drum pattern …

Taylor Swift has become wildly successful in just a matter of years. In high school, I barely knew her name. Now, she is all over the Billboard charts and wins tons of awards at every single music awards show you can think of. Taylor Swift puts a twist on …

TP-3 Reloaded

Chapter 20 of “Trapped in the Closet” brings the story back to the elderly couple as Rosie the nosy neighbor is seen reading her bible at home (this series is just full of ‘black people cliches’, now isn’t it?) when her …
